City of Arcadia Recreation and Community 
Services Department seeks resident input on park 
facilities and recreation program as part of its 
community outreach effort for a new recreation 
and parks master plan. The intent of the master 
plan is to develop a tool which can provide 
direction and planning for an achievable, fiscally 
responsible and environmentally sustainable 
recreation and parks system in Arcadia. The final 
document will be used to direct future park and 
facility improvements as well as meet future trends 
and community needs for Arcadia’s recreation 
and leisure services programs and activities over 
the next 20 years. 

 One of the ways the city is assessing community 
needs, suggestions, and priorities is through a 
community survey. The survey is available both 
online and in paper form. Residents can pick up 
the paper survey form at the Arcadia Community 
Center Recreation Office or go online to complete 
and submit the survey at: www.surveymonkey.
